Last month, poLight announced the development of its new line of M12 OTS focusing camera lens, based on the ultrafast (~1ms), ultralow power consuming (~1mW) TLens ®. These new lenses support 1/3' image sensors such as Sony's popular IMX900 sensor and enable design engineers to rapidly set and change object/focal distances to accommodate different scenarios. Embedding the M12 lens into the e-con Systems See3CAM platform with native lens control enables design engineers to utilize tunable optics functionality in new machine vision applications.
'This development is an important step in establishing a strong design ecosystem for industrial machine vision OEMs and furthering our commitment to off-the-shelf tunable optics,' said Dr. Øyvind Isaksen, CEO of poLight ASA. 'We are excited to work with industry leaders such as e-con Systems, advancing imaging innovation for 3D and AI robotic vision use cases.'
"Our integration of poLight's TLens ® technology into the See3CAM platform gives OEMs a head start in developing next-gen industrial and AI robotics applications—with tunable focus, low latency, minimal power draw, and true plug-and-play functionality — all in a ready-to-deploy camera module. We're happy to collaborate with poLight on this innovation, which reduces design complexity and accelerates time-to-market for our customers' product," said Prabu Kumar, Chief Technology Officer at e-con Systems.
The company anticipates M12 add-on lens products will be available in volume production in 1H 2026, in initially with three focal lengths:
6mm
13mm
19mm
poLight offers an evaluation kit which includes two M12 prototype lenses and a standard TLens ® evaluation kit, enabling easy control of the driver board via a USB connection to a PC or Mac computer. Design engineers who are interested in evaluating the e-con Systems See3CAM camera modules can order from e-con Systems at https://www.e-consystems.com/camera-modules/3mp-sony-pregius-imx900-global-shutter-camera-module.asp.

The Science of Team Fit: Using DiSC to Build Communication-First Cultures
Introduction: When Skills Aren't Enough Most teams don't struggle because of skill gaps, they struggle because of fit. The right talent in the wrong dynamic can create more friction than flow. That's where DiSC comes in. More than just a personality tool, DiSC reveals the relational patterns that shape team behavior, enabling organizations to build environments where communication is not just a value but a strategy. The Pitfalls of Conventional Hiring and Team Design Traditional hiring emphasizes résumés, technical expertise, and one-size-fits-all leadership development. These criteria are necessary but insufficient. Communication breakdowns, silos, and personality clashes don't show up on résumés. When organizations fail to measure behavioral compatibility, they overlook one of the most critical dimensions of long-term team success. This is where DiSC analysis becomes a strategic asset. Offered by platforms like Your Life's Path, this tool decodes how individuals prefer to interact, make decisions, and respond to challenges. Your Life's Path helps organizations enhance team dynamics through Everything DiSC® assessments, leadership training, and EPIC virtual workshops. With more than 18 years of expertise and over 65,000 clients, their behavioral tools foster communication, collaboration, and growth through customized insights. Understanding the Behavioral Codes of a Team DiSC doesn't label people; it maps their natural tendencies across four key styles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. Each style influences how a person responds to pressure, gives feedback, and works in a team. By conducting a DiSC analysis, leaders can see how individual profiles either complement or clash with one another. In the hands of experienced practitioners like those at Your Life's Path, DiSC becomes a blueprint for intentional team design. Managers don't just get static reports; they gain insights into how to adjust communication, resolve tension, and create psychological safety. Communication-First Culture: Why It Matters Now In hybrid and remote work environments, miscommunication is amplified. Lack of face time reduces nonverbal cues, making tone and intent harder to read. A communication-first culture is no longer optional; it is a survival strategy. This is where DiSC outperforms surface-level personality tests. Instead of vague descriptors, DiSC offers tangible behavior-based insights. It teaches individuals how their style is received by others and how to flex based on context. With tools like those offered by Your Life's Path, organizations can facilitate team dialogues grounded in data, not assumptions. Matching Roles to Behavioral Strengths One of the most powerful applications of DiSC is aligning team members with roles that suit their behavioral style. Someone high in Dominance may thrive in decision-making roles but struggle with processes that require patience and consensus. On the other hand, a steady profile may be the glue that holds the team together during high-stress sprints. Without DiSC analysis, these dynamics are left to chance. Managers might unknowingly place someone in a role that drains them, not because they're unqualified, but because the behavioral expectations misalign with their natural style. Teams perform best when everyone gets to operate in their behavioral 'sweet spot.' From Static Reports to Living Culture Shifts A common misconception is that DiSC is a one-time diagnostic. In reality, its value unfolds over time. When embedded into onboarding, performance reviews, team check-ins, and leadership pipelines, DiSC becomes a language of the organization. Your Life's Path supports this long-term integration through EPIC sub-accounts, certified facilitators, and scalable workshop models. Rather than stopping at a single assessment, they help companies create feedback loops where DiSC insights inform daily behavior. This is what shifts team cultures from reactive to responsive. Why Team Fit Is About Relationships, Not Roles Too often, we think of team design as puzzle-piecing skills and functions. But effective teams are ecosystems, not machines. They thrive when relationships are strong, communication is clear, and differences are leveraged, not suppressed. With DiSC analysis embedded in your culture, you move beyond personality awareness to behavioral fluency. People know how to speak each other's language. They understand what motivates their colleagues, how to de-escalate conflict, and how to adapt without compromising authenticity. Behavior precedes performance. Communication precedes collaboration. DiSC helps us see the invisible infrastructure of every successful team: how people connect, how they process feedback, and how they show up in moments of tension or uncertainty. Organizations that adopt this lens don't just avoid dysfunction; they accelerate alignment. Your Life's Path equips them to do just that. With years of experience and a library of customizable tools, they help leaders build teams where communication isn't left to chance. When DiSC becomes a core part of your team culture, 'fit' is no longer a mystery. It's a science. And with the right tools and guidance, it's entirely within reach.
